Sukhe Kala chana or Black chickpeas dry curry is a very simple dish cooked in a variety of different spices. This is a no onion no garlic recipe and taste just amazing with poori.

Chana masala or black chickpea dry curry is a spicy and tangy dish normally prepared with halwa on the last day of Navratri. I had prepared it yesterday along with halwa and poori . The aroma of fenugreek leaves and asafetida makes it a real delicacy. 

During Navratri, for eight days we avoid turmeric powder, asafetida and common salt and many other ingredients, so on a ninth day, we used to prepare this simple yet scrumptious dish with common salt and turmeric powder to accompanied the halwa and poori. Addition of only a few spices makes it a finger-licking curry, a must try for all.
